if you have not seen the movie, you should keep your jabs to yourself.
the movie is not about CUBA..
Not saying the US sucks so bad.
I sure could use a $1,000.00 per month raise..

the key to health ......is the prevention of disease

Doctor's don't have the time to teach you... NUTRITION

this is something you have to do on your own....

I wholeheartedly recommend this book ....
for you to learn about the super foods and how to make the right choices
>>>nutritionally speaking<<<

you can find it if you look around for under $5.00 dollars
and it will be the best five dollars you have ever spent by far

Ya but Rav, that means taking Personal Responsibility.
That's too much work.

I realize these are generalities but:

People don't take care of themselves as evidenced by the obesity, heavy drinking, smoking and lack of exercise by the average Joe.

Then someone gets sick from abusing their body for 50 years and complain that they have to spend $5 a day for meds to keep them

out of the hospital ,or alive ,and expect everybody else to pay for their medical expenses .

Meantime, they have been spending $6/a pack for cigs and who knows what for booze and junk food everyday
without blinking an eye.

Then if something goes wrong, they lawyer up for a medical suite.

Meantime the Docs have to protect themselves from law suites by ordering every test possible for a complaint or get sued
for not covering all the bases.
Their mal practice insurance costs are astronomical.

Ya, genetics do play a part, but even then there are prevenitive measures people can take ,if they choose.


Don't know much about Michael Moore, but from the pics i've seen of him,
he looks like he could take a little betta care of himself and eat a few less saucesedgees.

heres a story- my mom is experiencing liver failure right now and is on a transplant list. If she looses the health insurance that is provided to her at her job, she can not and will never able to afford the operation if she ever gets a new organ...She is forced to keep on working her job to the point of exhaustion for only a few hours a day so they wont fire her, because if they do, she will loose her insurance-

If this country took care of those who needed help, she wouldnt be forced to continue working so she can get this operation-

the system is geared for those who can afford it. If you cant afford insurance, your screwed.
